shortly afterward the report Of the revolver
was heard, accompanied by dull thud, occa-
stoned by the falling Of the body. What
followed is related in the foregoing para
graph. Mrs. Wilkeson stated that her hus-
band drew $50 Saturday. There was but -
found on the body. 1t is supposed that he
lost fthe balance gambling on Sunday.
There were some seven or eight indictments
against Wilkeson for selling liquor
on Sunday pending in the Circuit
Court, which would have come
up for disposition this week. The suicide
can probably be attributed to domestic
troubles, gambling, the indictments, and,
possibly temporary insanity.
The deceased came to Pilot Knob from
Bonnie Terre, No., several months since and
opened up a saloon in the Killaiee building.
About two months ago he closed the saloon
and went to work on the hill, where he re-
manned until last Saturday. He leaves
wife and six small children, who are wholly
unproyided for, to brave their way through
the world and shift for themselves.

undertake Buger refining are very few and
hard to find. II truat is formed there
will be division Of responsibility and O
lesssning Of domestic competition. both
OF which will prove very grateful to the
average ye6nes. Moreover, il the Trus! is
represented by shares the property will bo
80 divided up that even small investors
can obtain 81 interest in the business.
Such an arrangement would enable the
present rehnern gradually to retire from
